In ISIS-controlled desert areas stretching across eastern Homs to southern Raqqa, at least 20 jihadist insurgents were wiped out by Syrian airstrikes on Tuesday and Wednesday. Four of the Islamic State’s notorious Toyota technicals were also set ablaze with the air raids targeting the ISIS-held villages of Maadan, Al-Shandakhiyah Al-Shamaliyah, and Umm Tumynah.

Upon intel gathered from drones, local informants and spies in Deir Ezzor city, the SyAAF also targeted ISIS militants in the neighborhoods of Al-Arfi, Al-Jabilah and Al-Sinaa.
